YA THINK?

Same as my opinion on walking though the self checkout line. My body my choice.

So you think that 90-100% of programming jobs WON’T be replaced by AI within a decade? I realize there are limitations but I think exponential growth is difficult to see within the first three years. We are currently in year three.

I mean… Isn’t that what taxes are?

Because GTAV made over $700 million last year on 12 year old ip. They are in absolutely zero rush to release a sequel that may or may not flop in an era when it’s clear that 90-100% of programming jobs will be eliminated within a decade.

Every programmer they replace with ai now is one less bonus to pay out after release.

Dungeon Crawler Carl. Young people need to learn that all books don’t have to be boring and peachy. Sometimes a book can be fun and bat shit insane and that’s an ok use of your time. Learn to love reading first, then discover philosophy.

And there it is.

In the short term, yes. The money you’ve saved is now considered “disposable income” and will be absorbed by the next person in line.

If a paycheck could make you wealthy, no one would give you a paycheck. A retirement account CAN make you wealthy but only after the machine has squeezed 40+ years out of you. But one way or another that money is leaving your hands and flowing back into the system.

Ok, sure. There are theoretical and convoluted ways to disconnect from the electric grid. You’re still buying solar panels. Your out of pocket costs don’t change. The river of money still flows into and out of your life. It’s called currency for a reason. The whole system is designed to stop you from keeping your money.

The dark secret about money is that it only works when there’s isn’t enough for everyone. Despite what politicians want you to believe, you are SUPPOSED to live paycheck to paycheck- at least under a western capitalist economy. This is why poor people are both the most valuable citizens, and easiest to control. It’s slavery with more steps.

It never was

No they wouldn’t. Final consumer cost is based on what people WILL pay not what they WANT to pay. At the end of the day the overarching goal of capitalism is for 99% of the population to spend 100% of their earnings. You can’t funnel all wealth to the 1% if the 99% are holding on to it.

Why? It’s a goddamn mystery.

Lol 7&8. Nothing broke like those plates.

All bubbles are good until they’re not.

A bad trip is just an anxiety attack while you are too vulnerable to understand reality.

I’ll say the quiet part out loud. Trans people were never an issue before straight guys started thinking they were bangable.

So a $2k decrease in taxes using some kind of unspecified math, while cost of living increases by triple that number.
